FOREWORD
Lessons learned during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom
(OIF) revealed that special operations forces face an increased threat posed by
asymmetric forces operating throughout the depth of the battlespace. The United
States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) established and dispatched Joint
Counter-Ambush Advisory Teams to both war zones and in coordination with the
Director, Operational Testing and Evaluation (DOT&E), Joint Survivability
(JSURV) Quick Reaction Test (QRT), and the Center for Army Lessons Learned
(CALL) collected convoy operations lessons learned and tactics, techniques, and
procedures (TTP). The result of this effort is the USSOCOM Combat Convoy
Handbook. The aim of this handbook is to describe those actions best suited to
counter the threats to convoys in the hope of reducing the USSOCOM casualty rate
during combat operations. This handbook provides a quick-reference TTP guide for
convoy commanders and their subordinates on how to train for and conduct tactical
convoy operations on the asymmetric battlefield.
The lessons learned collection team consisted of subject matter experts from the
following United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) units:
United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC)
Naval Special Warfare Command
Air Force Special Operations Command
Special Operations Command Central
Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force - Arabian Peninsula (CJSOTF-AP)
Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group TWO
Joint Readiness Training Center, Special Operations Training Detachment (SOTD)
